A new beginning....

BeamCatcher

This is the little girl of a good friend and neighbor of mine. They are moving to another country. Dad is already there, so mum and kiddo popped over to say goodbye. As usual I can't let the little one go without a shot or two. This one I quite like, and I would like to give her mum and dad as a little present... but it would be cool to hear what you think about it on how to improve before I print etc.

Cheers! Ivar :-)

She does not look very happy about her upcomming move. Or, maybe in the land of Becket, that is unbridled lust for life.

Nice pic of what seems to be a sad little girl.

Wow!!!

That is one of most beautiful child portraits I have seen in a loooong time. Excellent capture and treatment. I love the mood!!

Ivar,
I don' know how you are doing this, but the photos you've taken of Léa are all superb and I think this one top them all. Thanks a miilion. I'll definitely frame it.
See you dude.

The model's daddy (who is as sad as his daughter, as missing her terribly ...)

Beautiful photo of a beautiful child!

Hi folks!
Just a quick one to see how you feel about same shot in color rather than B&W..? Me... I think I am bias towards B&W. Cheers! Ivar :-)

Dogdots

I think both are keepers....color is good for those who aren't partial to BW.
